I saw this silver high heel on a morning walk to an appointment a couple of days ago. When you see just one like this, you wonder what happened to the mate. (link) ﻿

Anyone seen Cinderella? (New Forest, England): On one of the smaller roads driving through deep woods sat this lone shoe at the side of the road. We see a lot of things driving through the Forest but his one really stood out. I wonder what the story was. Dropped out of a backpack? Thrown out of a car after causing blisters? We will never know. It had hardly been worn, had a huge platform and as you can see about a six inch heel. Oh and it was just my size.......an 8. (flickr)﻿

Shoe, found at an entrance to Bushnell Park (Hartford, Connecticut). (link)

One Sunday night my friend Smooth Jazz and I walked out of a bar downtown, talking and laughing. Suddenly we both stopped and stared. On top of an overflowing trash can we saw this: one acrylic fxck-me shoe standing proudly on top of the trash can. Just one. And it certainly wasn't there when I walked by on my way in. I couldn't have missed it. We searched around -- with our eyes; of course, we didn't touch anything -- for the other one. (link)

Last week on my way home from work I found someones glass slipper... only it was a Jessica Simpson pump. I would be lying if I said I didn't think about this beauty all night long. They were my size... 8 1/2- too good to be true. In the morning when I left for school, she was still there. (link)

Those Shoes. When I see things like this, it always makes me wonder! One lone red shoe laying in the grass next to the curb on a rather busy street. You KNOW there has to be a story here!! (North Wildwood, New jersey) (flickr)

London,CamdenTown Public Toilets. The cleaning lady was getting rid of it (she found it on the floor). I kindly asked her to wait just the time to take the picture: she was a Londoner and probably used to more weird stuff. She just waited me to take the picture without say a word. I was with my boyfriend (not in the loo of course). (﻿flickr)

Some Cinderella has lost her platform stiletto. Southside, Birmingham, Alabama. (flickr)

9/11 after the second collapse: the street was littered with abandoned women’s shoes. (link)

Abandoned shoe. Spotted this abandoned (exactly like this, i did not move it) ladies shoe next to the cricket club in Bath. Did she walk home in one shoe? Did she have sandals with her? Was she a she? (flickr)

The stuff you find on the street. I wonder how one loses one shoe. Jordaan, Amsterdam. (﻿flickr)

Lone shoe. Some lady lost a shoe and somehow didn’t notice and just left it on the sidewalk. (﻿flickr)

Anyone seen prince charming. Sadly I don't know the ending to this story, the slipper has gone. I hope cinders found her partner and is reunited with her glass slipper. (Braintree, GB) (﻿flickr)

Roadside Shoe! “Have you ever noticed how many shoes are on the highway?” No, I never had. I’d seen shoes on the road, but I’d never given that fact much thought. Until I started to see them everywhere. Now, when I spy a roadside shoe, I call SC and say, “I’ve seen a shoe!” Then I wait for his congratulations and promptly hang up. I wish he’d return the favor, because honestly, if there’s a roadside shoe out there, I want to know about it. (link)

I have a habit of picking things up off the ground. I found this shoe last month, around 2:15am—Downtown San Diego. I was leaving a bar, I saw the shoe and was immediately attracted to its shape and shine. I suppose it belongs to a drunken, downtown yuppie. (weblink)

A lost high heel at Union Station. Must be a great night last night. (flickr)

Unusual leftover... Found on a rural fence in the middle of a muddy field. (Windermere, England) (flickr)

One red shoe, found abandoned by itself near the bus stop for the northbound MUNI#27 by the Power Street BART. (flickr)

Last summer i lost a pair of slippers, few days ago , walking along the beach, i found one, untouched by the inclement weather....but the left one was not around. I have not lost hope yet… (﻿flickr)

The Red Shoe. This shoe was on the sidewalk near the convention center (Los Angeles). I picked it up and placed it on the box. I think it was lost by a cosplayer on her way to the Comikaze Expo, and it was still there as I was leaving the convention center a few hours later. I wonder if she saw it on her way back. (﻿flickr)

Missing. Who in their right mind walks away leaving a shoe behind? I think I would notice if it were me. (﻿flickr)

At the Shrewsbury Hotel, this was sitting on the wall, I wish I could afford to go up town, get drunk and leave my shoe abandoned. Couldn't resist a quick snap of Cinders Shoe ha ha. Must of been a great night out. (flickr)

While walking home from work on Wacker Drive (Chicago) I saw this shoe left behind. You'd think someone would miss it. (google)

Watching the steps. I wonder how somebody can lose a high heel shoe and not notice it. (At soccer game). (flickr)

Don’t Lose a shoe. Tonight, I saw some dried mud at a construction site and decided to walk on top of it around the huge cracks in the dirt. Unfortunately, below the surface, the mud was the perfect consistency to suck me in up to my knees. Luckily, I pulled myself out along with my Teva sandals and Thor-lo socks. The clothes are now in the wash. No way would I toss a good pair of shoes and socks. But apparently, some other lady lost her shoe at the SunTrust ATM, which I had visited earlier in the evening. (link)

I was shooting some photos around the Presidio in SF last weekend and came across this random shoe hooked on this beam. (flickr)

Early morning at the beach front motel. A group of young men & women were partying hard around the pavillion last night. Some kind of meeting. I wondered what might have been left behind by the heavy drinkers. What's this? Single red shoe, almost new, in the dew damp grass. Strange, the pavillion where they were dancing and partying is a good ways away. Wonder what happened? Did the woman kick her shoe off this far, in a fit of party revelry? Did someone swipe her shoe and toss it way out here? Did she come out here in the dark for a romantic moment, lose her shoe, and leave without it? Where is the mate? Did she leave wearing it, or did somone get it. (oocities.org)

Things You Find in Unexpected Places. Here is a lonely shoe I found while walking from the gym to my friend's apartment. Where is the other shoe? How did foot and shoe become separated? Perhaps we'll never know. (﻿link)

I found the amusing array of objects scattered in the streets this morning. (flickr)

Hmm, someone had a good night at Rugby Club. I wonder how easy it is to lose your shoe on a night out. Especially one this high. Couldn’t she feel that she was a bit lower one side? (Bryanamman, Wales) (﻿flickr)

The shoe that got left behind. Apparently it was left behind in the men's bathroom, and then it was put outside in the hallway outside the COB advising office. Interesting... (﻿flickr)

Odd Shoe. Taken Sunday morning in Manchester... you'd have 2 b pretty drunk not to notice not only a cold foot but a 2" height difference in one of your feet!!!! (flickr)

Somebody had a wild night on Crown Street, which has become New Haven's bar and nightclub row. This shoe was just a block up from bar. It's got to be a helluva party when you get so blasted that you come home without a shoe. But you don't set out wearing shoes like this to drink tea at the rectory. No you don't. (﻿flickr﻿)

Shoes and the City: I was walking on 6th avenue during lunch time, and I found an abandoned shoe. (﻿flickr)(﻿flickr2)

28 March 2009 at the alley on Oak Street between 11th and 12th streets in Traverse City. Some lady found herself walking in the Central Neighborhood without a shoe, for I found this black ballet-slipper styled-shoe near my garage when the snow melted. (flickr)

And so this past Sunday (at around 7:30am) I leave my house and walking down 16th Street notice this single shoe! Immediately the snapshot in my mind begins to construct a whole scenario... the young lady was partying on Saturday, perhaps became a little too tipsy and left a shoe as she got into a car. And then I think... oh no, perhaps she was attacked by somebody, dragged into a car leaving a shoe behind! But perhaps... someone was loading a car for a time away and, unfortunately, a shoe slipped out of the bag! Who knows? (﻿click here for link)

“Hymbl” spotted this pump in perfect condition at a busy junction in Chayolu, Turkey, not very far away from a popular nightlife district.

Cinderella needed for a Prince Charming. No I did not place this shoe here. I just happened to be walking along and then saw this random shoe placed on the corner and so I snapped it. The funny thing is, is that this is a very popular corner to take pictures of the iconic Flinders St Station (Melbourne), but the shoe seems to put people off; like it was honey trap or a Candid Camera scene waiting to happen. I was in a hurry, so I never got to find out if it was a stunt; however the perfect placement of a new shoe would suggest so.

When the original page dedicated to abandoned and misplaced shoes became too long, I have created this second one. The theme and criteria are identical.
